Why don't people say octacore?

Eight-core has 2 syllables, Octa-core has 3. People tend to prefer less syllables.

You mean a nonacore processor with one core disabled?

No, they're actually three different processors soldered together.

>OCTACORE NOOOOO!

In argentina they call it "four times dual core".

So a nonacore processor.

Dual-quad core is the right term.

why?

What do you mean why core count is only used in dual and quads.
EPYC is called dual-quad-quad because it has 32 cores.

The same reason people don't say hexacore.

Processor != die.
You dumb fucks that are saying the processor should be a dual-dual core, or dual-quad core, processor because there are two dies in the processor are just being retarded.
The closest any company got to using this definition was AMD claiming the Core 2 Quad processors were not "true" quad core, before their "true" quad core processors got destroyed by the "fake" ones.
The number of cores in the package is all that's important here.

Why do people say Dual-Core instead of Bi-Core?

This is actually a Dimi-sedeca processor.

Because it’s not commonplace like quad-core, so when you say octacore you sound like a retard because half the people don’t know what octa is, and the other half that do know see you as a try hard faggot for using fancy terminology

greek prefixes decakismyriakis
hecatommyria core
the question is why they call single core instead of mono core? Suddenly u abandon ur system ?
